1. According to multiple references « faire du lèche-vitrines » is invariable with the plural form of 'vitrines'. However, it appears that the 1990 rectifications accept the singular form. The plural form is still correct but is being red-lined through the 's'.

2. The hint for "Some of them deliver to your door " is to use the plural form of "yours" - I think this is meant to be use the polite form, as the expected script is « votre porte », not « vos portes »
Bonjour Madame,
In the sentence given in the lesson as
"Ta téle est bien mais la mienne est mieux"
In this sentence although the comparative form of 'bien' has been used but then also ' que' has not been used;though here 'mieux' is I think has been used as an adjective.
Mam,Pls guide the reason behind not writing 'que'
Thanks
You gave the example "I'll have a coke" and marked this wrong when I wrote "Je prendrai ...". I was puzzled and read the grammar lesson which explained about the 'futur proche' using "aller + verb". I was aware of that construction although not aware that it had the technical name 'futur proche'. However, all the examples given in English used "going to + verb" which seems correct to me. On the contrary, "I will have" sounds to me like a simple future tense and should have been accepted. I suggest your sentence should have read "I'm going to have", to make it clear to the student what construction you require.
In the explannation above, it says:
"To express lacking [something], you will use manquer de or d' + [thing].
You do not need to use the partitive articles (du, de l', de la, des) here, just as you wouldn't say I lack thesugar but simply I lack sugar:"
It's a bit confusing because then all the examples use "de". You really have to your know your grammatical terms! I wonder if it would be clearer to say:
"You do not need to use the definite articles (le, l', la, les) here".
Just a thought.
Has anybody seen the subtítles in the video ?
What is wrong with merci pour votre attention meaning thanks for listening? I thought this was widely used. Thanks.
"The main difference with qu'est-ce que is that this alternative form is never followed by the inverted form when using subject pronouns: " To reword, does this mean that 'qu'est-ce que' cannot be followed by an inversion?
I received this question in a quiz: "Les femmes travaillent: ________ lavent et les autres cuisinent."
Isn't "quelques-unes" another correct way to say "some of them?"
question required this answer for i need three eggs, why not j'ai besoin de, please
